This honestly doesn't bother me-- I really love his drumming on this album so far.

For some reason I was under the impression that Ink would be the third single after the albums release, but either way works!

I second this-- especially the behind the scenes portion which I am especially intrigued to see.

Thanks haha-- I just realized you are the same person I asked about this song on reddit a half hour ago... Sorry for pestering you :) I didn't look at your username probably because I was just too excited to learn about this song :bomb:

lol I guess I quote him, didn't I? :wiped: Oh well-- this is for those who don't go on reddit I suppose

Could you at least describe True Love for us?

"I was so in the moment I already forgot the melody. But I do remember really loving Will's drumming. It's slow and simple. And it's on a drum pad, not actual drums. " "I want to say it's something like a mix of parachutes and x&y stuff, but don't quote me on that."

and the "this ruins the album for me"

From someone at the concert who witnessed True Love: "subway is arriving so ill type a bit, the beat sounded like Paradise slowed down and Johnny's abrupt minor chords reminded me a little of atlas. Chris called it the best song off the album and his favorite song he's ever written."

No, the shitstorm will still happen ;)

WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE??!?! SOMEONE?!? ANYONE?!?!

The end of life is for living was so epic and different-- and when chris sang the lyric "all your friends" I got chills-- but I've never actually heard that lyric in the song before. Could it be related to the deluxe edition bonus track called "All Your Friends"?

I think it will leak in 4 days, on the 9th.

Miscarriage?! Please elaborate

Could you please explain what exactly "Car Kids" is and where it came from?

Actually agree with this post, 100%.

Well, in a way, ASFOS has many of the same elements as midnight-- the electronic pulse, synths in background, and nightime theme. The difference in the songs is that ASFOS it much more complex (with layers at least) which can be seen through their artwork with midnights being plain and dark while ASFOS being more full of stars that seem to represent more hope and less darkness. It's interesting because both songs represent a dark time of night, but midnight is more of an anthem of gloomy despair while A Sky is from that same time of night, but looked at with a different perspective; a hopeful optimism observing the beauty of the stars that only appear on the darkest hour of midnight. Truly genius by the boys, if you ask me.

We all expect this song to dominate the charts-- let's keep track of it here!

Sorry but I guess you haven't heard any of the other songs on this album-- literally ASFOS is the ONLY poppy song

Agreed! I feel that if the studio version was produced more similarly as the love version on Jools Holland, it would have been better-- oh well! Still enjoy the song

I love this thread :D It is a song that will grow on people, in sure of it!

Thanks! Would it be possible to re-add the post? Although it really doesn't matter too much to me anyways :)

I posted info on the Coldplay subreddit, and it was deleted several minutes later with his comment: How disappointing-- why not at least leave the post up so that those who are interested or may have info may be involved? :/
